πŸ“Œ Welcome

Think for a moment. What's the last thing you remember, exactly? Were you with your loved ones? Were you fighting for your life? Whatever the case may be, the story ends like this: you died. Regardless of how important circumstances were, you have been eliminated from your own world. That's all there is.

Perhaps it will surprise you to wake up surrounded by the sky in every direction. What's above is reflected below in the shallow water that ripples beneath you without getting you wet. Strangely, what lies beneath this water is a mystery to you, and it feels more like walking on a glass surface, completely solid and clear underfoot.

Despite the fact you've perished, nothing hurts. Any injuries you arrived with have been neatly bandaged, and anything life-threatening has been mended enough that it no longer is. The warm sunshine probably feels good on your skin right now, doesn't it? The temperature is perfect, and you feel oddly comfortable considering the circumstances.

You aren't the only one rousing, however. Strangers around you also blink into consciousness, glowing halos flickering to life and floating over their heads. It might be hard to see the shape of your own halo looking up, but your reflection on the ground should help with that. Reaching up to touch it will prove futile. It's intangible, though your hand feels a little warm passing through it.

Your first instinct might be to leave. Can't blame you. You're in a strange place surrounded by strange people and no sense of direction. You might even try to use one of your powers from your home world to escape, but try as you might they don't appear to work. Worry not though; it looks like this place has bestowed some gifts upon you. Within your vicinity you have have one item from home. You have a gift box with your name on it. And, of course, you have the brand new sexy angel costume that you're already wearing! πŸ˜‡

So what are you waiting for? Up and at 'em! The island has plenty of space to explore, though as you approach the edge it fades slowly into a thick fog. Pressing onward into the fog will disorient you and soon you'll find yourself completely turned around right back where you started. Probably best to stick to this area.

But hey, there's plenty to look at still! Instead of empty space, scattered around the island you'll see glassy, transparent protrusions from the ground. Most of them... well, you can't quite make out the shape. Could be buildings. Could be trees. Could be objects on the ground. Flowers, maybe? Their form doesn't seem to want to settle, and the light catching on their edges isn't really as illuminating as you'd like.

There is one exception to this. One shape seems to be more stable than the rest, less transparent and instead just... hazy. It's like you're looking at it through glasses with the wrong prescription. Even though it's blurry, you can tell that it's a cafe, and its door is wide open. Thoughtful, right? Whoever or whatever brought you here, at least they don't want you to starve!

Though no one is manning the counter, you can order your desired meal off of the slightly-clearer touch screen menu that offers up any kind of fast food you could want. There are also two restrooms in the back, with the keys hanging up on the wall beside them. That aside, there doesn't appear to be anything else open and you're left to your own devices.

We understand this is a lot to process, so take your time adjusting. And remember: everything is fine.

🎁 Gift Basket

As mentioned, each of you wake up with your item from home and a gift box with your name on it. There's a printed note attached to the fancy ribbon tying it off. It reads: Enjoy a welcome gift from us! For any questions, please refer to the informational pamphlet inside. ... but naturally, no such pamphlet seems to exist.

Each box contains the following:

πŸ“±
Cell Phone
A smartphone. Text and call to your heart's content. Just kidding! There's no service yet.
At least the camera and notes app work.
πŸ–ŠοΈ
Pen
One encouraging pen of your choice. Blue ink!
πŸ₯š
Egg
A large egg the color of your halo. About ostrich egg sized. Warm.
βš”οΈ
Toy Lightsaber
A collapsible toy lightsaber! Lights up the same color as your halo.
🧸
Squishmallow
A small squishmallow! Any animal or item that would suit your personality.
🧢
One Crocheted Accessory
A cute scarf/mittens/hat/etc, handmade in a color that suits you.

[ Ooooff.. their head. Rubbing at their unkempt hair, they blink and then nod. May as well, right? ]

I can do that. [ Ignore the fact they only have one eye what with the black eyepatch covering one. ] I'm used to taking the lead for my group.
faithkept: (that all beings arrive at)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[THEIR NOGGIN!!!!! Also it's fine they still have three working eyes between them, which is better than two even if it's not as good as four.]

Then I'll be your support. Shall we try your side first?
punnier: game. (curious βœ‚ home is not a habour)

[ Together, they are Eupha. Three eyes.

Instead of a verbal reply, he nods. We ride! In which, Siffrin moves a bit ahead to take their spot in the lead. Just assuming he'll be following after them as they enter the Fog...

How many times can they do this before Mods ratshake us. ]
faithkept: (to reveal the brightest sky)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[THEY'RE GONNA DO THIS SO MANY DAMN TIMES but at least Lucas will do his best to protect sweet Siffrin from the dangers that do not exist in the fog each and every time.

Eventually he'll get tired of this shit, though, and just gaze at the fog.]


I believe we may need a new strategy.
punnier: game. (uh βœ‚ is to leave you.)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Siffrin just looks so, so tired. Not that they didn't have eyebags already and looked exhausted before but. Y'know. Tired with the situation and not at Lucas though. A sigh. ]

Like what? Find a rope and see if we can figure it out that way?

[ This is a joke. ]
faithkept: (lost in the waves)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
If there were any ropes to be found, I'd say it's not a terrible idea.

[They would have definitely died out there.]

Barring that, perhaps we ought to take a rest for now?
punnier: game. (sad βœ‚ but i'll wake up soon)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ A nod, unfortunately there is nothing but food which.. is still good? Since they all still hunger? Too bad about the restrooms. ]

..Probably a good idea.

[ Their head is so dizzy, they feel like they'll be sick. Again. Speaking of-- ]

How're you feeling?
faithkept: (a world where roses bloom)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[The afterlife is so damn weird, man.]

I'm feeling well enough, outside of being just a touch dizzy. That fog is certainly disorienting...

[But he'll lead the way over toward their one singular cafe that they can actually sit in instead of having to sit on the reflective FLOOR.]
punnier: game. (fake βœ‚ when i feel i've been replaced)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-09 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, don't think I've really encountered strange enough Craft to do that.

[ Wow, Siffrin actually looked about ready to just FLOP ON THE FLOOR RIGHT THEN AND THERE. Before seeing Lucas lead elsewhere and belatedly follow like "oh". Trails after like a small duckling. ]

--I'm Siffrin, by the way. Um. My pronouns are he/they.

[ Introductions done... they can go chill in the cafe before Siffrin eventually sneakily leaves like a weirdo because i didnt realize captcha is making a hell for us ILL PC US. ]
